That's about 20 cycles ("switchings") per day for 150 years. I was curious so I tried to look up reliability/endurance ratings. For a fairly durable-looking "heavy duty" industrial switch [1], it lists only 50k cycles as it's minimum endurance rating.

- alkonaut 10y agoYes that was exaggerated - however I'm also happy to change my switches if they fail mechanically. A mechanical switch won't just start randomly missing switches, it usually just works or it doesn't (at which point you replace it)
